Album Notes & Community Reviews

Written and released in the direct socio-political fallout of the September 11 attacks, the celebrated roots-rocker delivered a highly controversial and uncompromising record. The album famously sparked massive national debate over the song 'John Walker's Blues', which was written from the perspective of an American Taliban recruit.
